@Anibal Martinez the decision to sell a property is always tough, but it comes down to a few important questions1: Are you making the returns you need for it to make sense to keep the property?

(This is a blessing IMO.)So I said I understood her decision and would contact her with further instructions.I sent her a move out letter via email the following day with a couple of options for a timeline, info for scheduling a final walk through, etc… now she is ghosting me.

While many of these issues are important considerations and should not be ignored or overlooked, there are other more crucial criteria that you must question and evaluate first.The critical risk criteria that you must review and evaluate prior to making your final decision on which 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary to retain includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:Technical capability of the 1031 Exchange Qualified IntermediaryInternal processes and audit controls to safeguard your 1031 Exchange funds and assetsUse of Qualified Trust Accounts or Qualified Escrow AccountsDecision criteria and guidelines for investment of your 1031 Exchange fundsProtection from potential errors or omissions by the Qualified Intermediary (E&O Insurance) Protection from potential theft or embezzlement of 1031 Exchange funds (Fidelity Bond) An experienced and professional 1031 Exchange Qualified Intermediary will understand these concerns and should be happy to discuss these crucial issues with you.

While a lot of STRs, and properties in general, can work as an MTR, really nailing down who you'd like to serve can absolutely help guide your purchase decision on your next property.

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck. 

Always a good idea to include a tax accountant in your decision-making process. 

I think this is the single most important part of the decision in order to set you up for success in passive rental property investing.
